Publicly Available Specifications (PAS)

The ETSI PAS process enables an ETSI partner to submit one or more of its Publicly Available Specifications for adoption by ETSI as an ETSI Technical Specification (TS) or ETSI Technical Report (TR).

Why use the ETSI PAS process?

A Publicly Available Specification published as an ETSI Technical Specification will benefit from ETSI's recognition as a European Standards Organization, as well as from our international reputation as a provider of standards for global use. It will also receive increased visiblity among ETSI's members.

Submitting a PAS to be published as a TS can be a first step towards it becoming a European Standard, and ETSI's standards and specifications can be referred to in European public procurement contracts.

Who can submit a specification?

Any Standards Development Organization, forum or consortium which is a legal entity, that has an IPR policy compatible with ETSI's, and has signed a Cooperation Agreement can submit a Publicly Available Specification to ETSI.
